014 - Two projects

Xiao Yan took out a paper from his storage ring and gave it to Gu Yan, "Here are sixty uses of the Purple Haze Grass, uncle Gu Yan can take a look at them"

Gu Yan read the paper and was becoming increasingly shocked, he couldn't believe that such a cheap herb used as insect repellent had so many other uses.

While he was reading, Xiao Yan went to the table to write down the two cultivation techniques that he'll give to Gu Yan and Yang Xin.

Before Gu Yan finished reading, Yang Xin was already back and she gave him an alchemy master robe and a badge, while telling him, "Xiao Yan, this robe is too big for you, you'll have to wait for a new one to be ready. I'll personally send it to you, where do you live and how can I contact you in the future?"

While taking his stuff, he replied, "I'm from the Winged Dragon Family, if I'm not home you can leave a message to our butler, Xiao Tian"

"Not that I don't trust you, but we'll have to check these uses one by one, are you the one who discovered them?", Gu Yan asked, to study an herb to such an extent, even he couldn't do it, was he really that inferior to Xiao Yan?

"No, I just managed to translate them from some ancient books", {I'm not going to talk about a supposed supreme master, soon I'll be strong enough to protect myself}

"Oh… So you would like us to buy all of the herb available on the market before revealing it's uses to the public?"

"I already bought all of it, what I want is that the Association sell it for me, not for free of course, you guys can take one fifth of the money. Since the herb takes three years to grow to maturity, you'll need to release it on the market and sell it before then, as the price might drop down"

"The Alchemist Association accepts your offer", Since he already bought all of it, they could easily gain one fifth of the money, so why would they refuse?

"Okay", He said and gave him the eighteen storage rings, "here are 3 500 000 pounds of Purple Haze Grass, I'd like to have the storage rings back in the future"

Gu Yan then gave the paper and the rings to Yang Xin, "Director Yang, you'll be the one fully in charge of this project", he looked back at Xiao Yan, "What is the second project?"

"I also managed to translate five pill formulas that will greatly help the Association and more importantly Glory City, they are "Soul Nurturing", "Soul Concentrating", "Soul Tempering, "Scarlet Body Enhancing" and "Nine Transformations".

The four couldn't believe their ears, these five pills were the best-sellers before the Age of Darkness! They were much stronger than the ones they are currently selling, to the point that even Legend Ranks would want some of them.

After he digested what he heard, Gu Yan asked him, "You really have those five elixirs formulas?"

"Yes, I would normally gift them freely to the Alchemist Association, however, I also need a lot of money to be able to continue my researches, and it's not something my family's wealth can withstand. Therefore, I would like one fifth of the profits made from those pills, I wonder if uncle Gu Yan has any objections?"

"None, we are even willing to give you half of the profit to you!", They would make a lot of money even if they gave him half, so he didn't care.

"One fifth is enough, since I want a long-term partnership and I think that I'll be able to translate other formulas in the future. If uncle is willing, uncle can use some money to help the commoners who are willing to become alchemists"

"You can rest assured, we've always wanted to do it but we never had the wealth to. By financing their alchemy studies, it'll also strengthen the Alchemist Association, so of course we'd want to. You can send someone to supervise the selling procedure. If you are not satisfied with something, we will immediately rectify it"

"I'll leave everything to uncle Gu Yan and big sister Yang Xin, I trust the both of you. Here are the formulas", He said as he handed him five papers.

Gu Yan carefully looked at the formulas one by one.

When Xiao Yan saw that he finished, he said, "I would also like uncle Gu Yan to keep at least the Nine Transformations Pill formula to yourself, since one need to be a Senior Alchemy Master to refine it. I want you to keep your position as the President, so don't let elder Hu Shuo take it from you. At the same time, it will help you in consolidating the Association and making it more united"

{I think that I told him everything I wanted, I should leave now…}

Right now, they already forgot that he was fourteen years old, they were looking at a fellow Alchemy Master.

"In the future, if you have any problems, you can look for Director Yang directly. She will definitely do her best to help you with your requests", Gu Yan said. He couldn't wait, he wanted to refine these pills.

"Okay, I still have some matters to attend to, I'm going to leave. I would like you guys to keep my visit today a secret, I don't want to be targeted by the Dark Guild nor do I want to have trouble with some people trying to manipulate me"

The four agreed, then Gu Yan said to Yang Xin, "Director Yang, send Xiao Yan off"

"Okay", She simply replied and started to lead him out of the Alchemist Association.

Just before exiting the building, he suddenly thought of something, {That's right, I forgot to give them their cultivation techniques!}

Taking a paper and a pen from his storage ring, he wrote something on it and gave it to a puzzled Yang Xin.

He did it three more times before telling her, "These are cultivation techniques for the four of you, I wrote your names on them so that they won't get mixed".
